Wheaton has an amazing history in wrestling, first as the Wheaton Warriors, then as the Wheaton-Herman-Norcross Bullets, and now as the Border West Buccaneers. Wheaton sports fans will never forget the State Championship the Bullets brought home in 1996.
I am still in the process of collecting wrestling stats (Ev Olson did an amazing job at it for the Gazette and I do have his materials,) but I am especially in need of more recent records and stats.
In the interest of getting something up on the site sooner than later, here is a list Ev Olson compiled in 2006 of wrestlers with 70+ wins.
Please contact me to help provide updated information!
